Happy New Year, friends! Let’s make it a good one! As always, my resolutions this year include trying to eat more vegetables and also trying to lose a few pounds. You too? Well, this fantastic soup can help with both!

Cabbage, in my opinion, is such an under-appreciated vegetable. It’s full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. It’s inexpensive, low-calorie, and it’s delicious both raw and cooked (as long as you don’t cook it to death – overcooked cabbage is probably why many people think they don’t like it).

Versions of this cabbage soup have been around for a long time, and there are lots of them. This is my version. You may have heard it called fat-burning cabbage soup or weight-loss cabbage soup.

Since I’m not a dietician or a nutritionist, I’m not making any such claims here about this soup, and I’m not advocating any type of diet plan.

BUT…there’s no denying that this soup is low in calories, so take that for what it’s worth. I think it’s perfect for a light lunch or dinner!

Quite honestly, I love this soup simply because it’s both delicious and nutritious, which is not always an easy combo to come by when we’re talking low-cal. Am I right?

You’ve got a ton of healthy veggies – cabbage, carrots, celery, tomatoes, onions, and garlic – all in a rich and tasty broth that’ll make you want to lick the bowl clean!

And despite the fact that there aren’t a lot of calories, this super yummy soup is very hearty, and it really fills you up.

Plus, it’s very easy to make in less than an hour with just a few simple ingredients!

• Olive oil

Tips & Tidbits:

• The flavor of this soup will depend greatly on the type of broth that you use to make it. I use roasted chicken base mixed with water because I think it adds the most flavor. Of course, you could use canned, boxed, or homemade broth or stock, whatever is your personal favorite.
• Vegetable base, broth or stock could be used in place of chicken to make it vegan.
• I recommend keeping the vegetables just a little bit crunchy. It gives the soup great texture.
• Fresh parsley can be used instead of dried (use 2 to 3 tablespoons of fresh). I use dried parsley simply because that is usually what I have on hand.
• This soup freezes very well. Once it has cooled, put it in freezer-safe containers or freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.

Of course, this soup is not only for helping you keep your resolutions. It makes a simple and delicious lunch or dinner any time of the year and goes great with sandwiches, rolls, garlic bread, biscuits, or a salad.
